Reviews

The Price of Valor is a very enjoyable epic fantasy, and a damned good book. And if youre not reading Wexlers The Shadow Campaigns yet Well, what the hell are you waiting for -- Liz Bourke * Tor.com *
Django Wexler has delivered a highly entertaining debut that mixes elements of Bernard Cornwallesque military adventure with an original take on magic and a keen eye for action, dialogue, and character....Succeeding volumes may end up doing for the Napoleonic Wars what George R. R. Martin did for the Wars of the Roses. Highly recommended. -- Anthony Ryan, New York Times Bestselling Author of Blood Song
With The Price of Valor, Django Wexler continues to prove that hes got a great story to tell. Great characters painted on a fascinating backdrop with military and political conflict make for an excellent novel, and an excellent installment in a thoroughly entertaining Military/Flintlock Fantasy saga. * www.sffworld.com *
